Norwegian’s Essay on the Frog
What a queer bird the Frog are!
When he sit he stand—almost;
When he walks he fly—almost;
When he sings he cry—almost;
He ain’t got no sense—hardly;
He ain’t got no tail—hardly either;
He sit on what he ain’t got—almost.
—The Radiogram.
Bill: I’ve eaten beef all my life
and now I am as strong as a bull.
Will; That’s funny. I’ve eaten fish
all my life and I can’t swim yet.

On a green spring day
Mixed some green little chemicals
In a green way.

1 YEAR AGO
That cute lil majorette, Nancy Fos
ter, really picked herself a good-look-
.ng feller. We guess you know we
.nean Carlton Everhart!!!
Tommy Reed and Maureen Nance
ire hitting it off pretty stedaily, we
hear!!! Good luck to them!!! (Edi
tor’s note: They are married now.)
Did you see J. L. at the Halloween
party with Barbara Ritchie? More
power to you, J. L.!!!
McBride, that whiz on the type
writer is being swamped by the ninth
Traders, but Betsy Stoner claims him!!
Have you noticed the new couple
jitterbugging in the gym? They are
Nancy Cowan and Lloyd Russell. We
understand that they like to ride
motorcycles also.
When teaching a girl to pucker for
a kiss, which is better, to have her
say, prunes, peaches, or alfalfa? (One
if Buddy Bender’s jokes.)
2 YEARS AGO
It seems as if everyone is once
again getting into the swing of things
and these boy& are opening their eyes.
For instance, Robert Kepley has his
eyes on Shirley Richardson, and vice
versa.
You know the old saying, “If you
can’t get what you want, get the
next best.” Well, Jimmy Poston took
the hint and Martha Hooper, too;
and a darn good choice, we’d say!!!!
We think Jimmy Plott’s constant
partnership with Peggy Cos-tner in
the gym is more than just dancing.
Peggy hopes so, anyway.
3 YEARS AGO
Flash! News! Extra!!! “Tinker
Williams has Anally found the girl
of his dreams. Yep! The lucky “lil
gal is Jane Gordon Shoaf and a
mitey fine choice, I’d say.
Bill Hedrick’s on the loos'? again.
Ahem!! Don’t everyone rush at once.
He can only take on one at a time
(or can he?)
TflE
Say, Lottie, it’s been rumored that
you and Harold Carter have seen
powerful much of each other lately!!!
That’s just hunky-dory!!!
Reid was home last week and Mary
Sue was, well, you can guess!!!
Have you heard of Lois York’s new
flame, Charlie Price? Is it new, Lois,
or is it just-renewed???!!!
—By Two Sleigh Belles
Here comes Santa Claus”—oops!! Our mistake!! That’s just Mr. Leon
ard driving up in his Big Black Buick. Oh, well, I guess we just have that
Christmas feeling.
Say, speaking of feelings — we just heard the low down and do vou
know what????— . ’’
Ed Covington and Billie Dean Spry really seem Interested in each other
since Joan Weaver had her big party. Joan, you should have invited us
so we might have had a little luck, too.
Quote: “Betsy wishes to make a request! Would Casper Hill Timberlake
Jr., please stop calling and coming to see her so much? Why doesn’t he
go hunting sometime like other little boys do!!!??” Unquote.
Eve really did L.H.S. proud at the Dairy Bowl with her good-looks and
oweet smile—But seems as if some of her eighth grade admirers (boys) have
known all along how cute she is. ’’
Blake just can’t make up his mind which it is—Juanita or Ruth Tysinger
Can’t blame you, Blake. They’re both cute. ^ ®
Teacher of the Month: Our choice this month is Miss Janie Manning
Believe us when we say she really can teach Math in any form, shape or
rectangle. Her friendliness and willingness to help the students in any Way
or thing make her one of our most beloved teachers. ^ ^
We hope you won’t think we’re turning this into an Alumni column, but
we would like to say something about three college boys. Naturally we mean
■•Jay-Bird,” Bob Hendricks, and Cook. Seeing them in the halls and LEX
HIPEP room made us feel as we really do—Juniors. All we needed to make
.-he picture complete was “Chazz” and “Horn.”
Betty Jean Shoaf and Grady Benfield are quite a steady couple Of
course, we know you’ve seen them together a lot since they both work at
the show.
Constantly together; “Mac” and Amelia and Joannie and “Cootie.”
We ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Those 8th graders really do
start young!!! Man, oh, man!!! But I guess we did the same thing (so
they^ tell us!) Just in case you haven’t noticed those spry young things
here’s a list of the latest true loves as of today: Ronnie Crow and Barbara'
ooing, John Byron Lopp and Betty Wilderson, Otis Ryder and Mena Wav
Marsh, and Phyllis Breeden and Stuart Conrad.
You all know Emily Russell, don’t you? She’s that cute little gal you
see with Jo Deane a lot. Well, anyway, someone said she likes T-ville
better than Lexington. It sho’ is a slam on L.H.S; boys when all these cute
girls have to go elsewhere to And fellows.
“Question of the month”—Just why is it that Jean Rollins likes to ride
down by the Lexington Chair Factory? Could it be that somebody special
lives down in this neighborhood. i^ci-idi
Caroline Swing (that darling strawberry-blonde) and Joe Honeycutt reallv
surprised us.. But they’re just as cute as can be—more power to youse two!!
Merry Christmas
and
Happy Holiday

Joanne and “Mike” were two lonely girls when “Tubba” and Bill leff
US to go to the Optimist and Shrine Bowl resnectivplv Rnf ^
Of them, too. YOU should have heard th^m"^ comparing notes^^
Our most humblest apologies go to our yoi.ng colleagues-the ninth grade
girls. In our last column we made a statement that the “little ninTgraders”
really yelled for the Wagner twins. We realize that we sLSld not maL
slanderous remarks, but we meant no harm. Again, we offer our apolS
Bill Tysinger must be a cute boy ‘cause
McCrary s homeroom who thinks so, too.
we know a girl in Miss
young as cute as everyone says? We don’t know her, but we
hear she sho is cute!! Why don’t some of you fellas wake up?
vpmh^r Peeler, Jr., had a wonderful dance the 27th of No-
seemed like old times to
see Zacky Beck Smith, “Squirrel,” Hedrick, and others. J. L. and Carolyn
really make a cute couple. Guess we’ll be seeing them together a lot now.
“Teenie” sho’ had a darling boy with her at DeNeale’s dance. “Teenie ”
you ve been holding out on us!!! ’
attention the feminine faculty
and L.H.S. girls give you??!!!
We know you all have noticed that good-looking Avril Sink. But bovs
